• Rover K series - 1400 29 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  is that bargain or not, is that it has a K series engine. So my question is: Is the 1.4 K series OK and is it just the 1.8's that have the HGF problems? Or are they all rubbish? I've done a forum search, and noted the advice to check the coolant etc. TIA
• Getting Spare Keys for Honda Civic 25 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Hi there, I recently bought a second hand Honda civic 1.4i S 2000 V model. I was given only one key with the car and a remote knob attached to the keyring. I was wondering how to get a second key for it? Can I just get the key cut by a key maker or do I need to go to the dealer? It might be quite

• Battery Advice 27 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  Due to one thing or another I have several times been caught out by a flat battery. Is there a better solution than getting a jump-start off somebody? I once sold a car to a chap (having previously warned him the battery was u/s) and when he came to pick it up, he had a spare battery and jump

• Merc cruise control 20 May 2005 (Forum)
  Driving to an MB dealer 20miles away to have the brake fluid changed (half the price of my local one) I noticed cruise control wouldn't work on the motorway - or indeed above 55mph. I asked the dealer to check it over and they said this was due to the wrong tyres being fitted (205 55's on 16 inch

• Saab Car Test Video 21 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I'm sure you've all seen the images of Saab 9000's slalom(ming) between cones in succession whilst being put through their paces. Well - I got emailed a link to a video made by Saab years ago and I have to say, it is absolutely amazing. The men driving those cars truly have a gift. http
• Volvo V70 2.0T 18 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  A collegue has just been offered a V70 on a '04 plate with less than 10k on the clock from a main dealer in S spec with the 2.0T engine. This will be used as a company car. We have negotiated to £16,500 which to me seems a cracking deal. I am not familiar with the engine though. Anyone tried one
• Dim dip headlights 24 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I was thinking back the other day about the late 80's when dim-dip technology was introduced (preventing side light driving by switching on dipped beam at half voltage?). Does anyone know why this was discontinued? I have noticed many new cars driving around on tiny front side lights. Perhaps

  Hi. My wife has a problem with the wear wiper on her S reg Fiesta. When the wiper is put to the on position, the arm moves as normal but the wiper continues past its normal stopping position and dangles down by the number plate. So, the motor seems to be working OK so what should stop the wipe

• Volvo S60 and depreciation 26 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I've been looking at used Volvo S60's. An approx. figure is between £13k and £14k for a 2002, 20T SE, Auto, with up to 20k on the clock. These cars retailed at about £23k when new, so a £10k drop in 2 years seems heavy, but does this bode well for a used car i.e. will the depreciation curve now
• Plip Codes 20 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  the precaution always of putting on a locking steering wheel bar, and generally leave the glove box open. I hope that it doesn?t happen again and the wrong kind of person notice it. Come to think of it, did I unlock someone else?s car when I arrived?
